The hottest rumour in Kuching today is that our beloved Chief Minister will be getting married on Saturday 18th December. His future wife is further rumoured to be a young foreigner. Details of two wedding receptions have been whispered, and we cannot verify their truth, but:

(i) Official Government Dinner at Pullman Hotel.

(ii) Private reception at his residence Demak Jaya catered by Borneo Convention Centre Kuching on an Arabic Asian theme for 300 friends, family and VVIPs. Why Arabic theme? Because the bride is a 17 year old Lebanese girl introduced by Taib's own sister Raziah Mahmud, who is married to a Lebanese businessman.

We would like to take this opportunity to wish our beloved Chief Minister heartiest congratulations if this rumour is indeed true.

We have also heard that the CM will make a surprise announcement that he will retire in January and vacate his Balingian seat for the next state elections. This will catch everyone by surprise and the Opposition will not be able to target Taib anymore. Sarawak Report and Radio Free Sarawak will become ineffective and will have lost their prime target who will have surrendered and stepped down. However, Taib will keep his successor a secret.

In January, Taib will finally step down and hand over his job to his most trusted deputy and make the announcement:

Datuk Patinggi Tan Sri Alfred Jabu anak Numpang will become the next CM of Sarawak.

This is a good strategy because Taib knows that the majority of rural Ibans will be happy and 'celap ati' because finally they will have an Iban CM. They will continue to vote for BN because finally they will be able to see with their own eyes that they have an Iban CM. BN will win big, thanks to rural Iban voters who will be celebrating that they have an Iban CM.

Jabu will make the announcement for the state elections and lead BN to a resounding victory with the help of the rural Ibans who will still be celebrating for having an Iban CM.

Once BN has won, Jabu will make a further surprise announcement and step down on election results night. He will give way to the person who will stand at the Balingian seat that was vacated by Taib. Who will that person be?

Al Tugauw. Before you make statements of which you cannot be certain of and end up with egg on your face, please check your facts and do some research.

But that is not my point. My point is this is precisely what the Dayaks are guilty of: they pick on minor irrelevant details and miss the big picture. The big picture here is that power still remains with the Taib family. How Effendi and Taib are related is not the main point.

But Dayaks being Dayaks, they like to find fault in other people, and in the process, get screwed by the bigger fish.

I don't like to be racist or be called racist...but if that(the above issue) happens... then that's 100% racist in practice... come on people don't ever let this happen, no matter what, no matter how...that cheat minister must pay...and not sit on that TYT's throne...cos his ass ain't fit in there.

Effendi's father, a Christian Melanau, converted to Islam when he married Tun Rahman Yaacob's cousin. This makes Effendi a distant cousin (2nd cousin) of Taib through their common uncle, Tun Rahman Yaacob.

what if i tell you vote is just changing fiscal policy and how government policies can affect the economy.

As we all know, our current money-based economies undergo the business cycle from recession to a boom and back. And they are influenced by supply and demand. Government has 2 ways of influencing the economy: taxes and government spending. Government spending puts in money into circulation thus boosting incomes of those who receive the money from government spending. Taxes takes money out of circulation, thus reducing incomes.

Using these two methods governments has some control over how low recessions get or how high booms get. Often when a recession hits. Government can either lower taxes or increase government spending. When there is a boom government can cut spending or increase taxes.

There are 2 political views:1)Government isn't doing enough for the people, and lacks the resources to do so2)Government is too inefficient when its big

Folks with view (1) would promote that government spend more during a recession to reduce loss of spending (low low spending as a result of low demand), and keep money in circulation and reduce duration of a recession (bailouts, welfare). And when a boom comes along, government should increase taxes to slow the increasing demand (high demand leads to high inflation).

Folks with view (2) promotes the opposite measures. During a recession, they promote cutting taxes, so that people have more money to spend and hence keep demand higher than it usually would be in a recession. Then when a boom comes along they say government should reduce spending so the amount of money injected into the system is reduced and hence reduce inflation (lowering social services, welfare etc).

If you folks have been paying attention to politics these 2 views and measures should sound very familiar. Peter is right when he says that these two parties are 2 sides of the same coin (the coin being the monetary system). The truth is people are choosing between 2 methods of controlling booms and recessions, when they vote: nothing more. THIS CLEARLY SHOWS WHY any political party WAS NEVER ABLE TO BRING REAL CHANGE. Of course there are certain discrepancies: like how republican GWB boosted gov't spending by going to war with Iraq.

however for those want to learn the root cause of these dilemma, please educate yourself about money first,

mind you it is something you will never learn from school, neither we rarely try to question about it. why? its simply not real and just a faith, and how is it logical for a rational human being would get involved in such a deep mental and physical level?

17 years old lebanese wife

women need to be 'make up' and look 'desirable' in order to get better job and easier dealing with others, which is dishonest outright in any means during communication.

so currently rich people should realize if women are attracted to them is either being misused by them for money,materialistic gain, and rich wouldnt feel being cheated/dishonesty? its just matter of time the lebanese wife going to look for younger men as secondary 'husband'

I find it extremely repulsive that an individual could live for decades with someone they do not love due merely to money.

high priced bimbo with the brains of a retarded lap dog. plain and simple. I can tell you looks are nice but without a good mind people are pretty much a waste of air.

Ya kah?

It might make Karim Hamzah and Fadhillah wet but that's what these dumbos do. Get wet over nothing.

If anything, there might be some Dayak support coz Jabu might warm the seat for a while, only to be taken over by another Dayak - Maybe Baru Bian ! :-))
